Shock!Straight Man Long Aotian Secretly Hides The Villain’S Skirt Chapter 112
byChapter 112 The sick and violent prince 10
Xie Rong went to court for the first time in the morning, and everyone in the East Palace was well prepared. On the first night, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince’s court clothes were ironed to a perfect fit.
The next day, Xie Rong drank a bowl of bitter medicine and went to the Jinluan Hall in a sedan chair.
In front of the Jinluan Palace, the ministers who were greeting each other all fell silent, and their eyes fell on the stopped sedan.
No one would fail to recognize the prince’s sedan chair.
Xue Feibai pushed aside the crowd, stepped forward to open the sedan curtain, and leaned over to see the people inside.
“Cousin of the prince, do you still remember me?” Xue Feibai smiled at him, “I hugged your highness when I was a child.”
Xue Feibai was nine years older than Xie Rong. Not only was he notoriously easy to get along with, but he was also one of the most distinguished aristocratic sons in the capital. However, he had not yet married a wife and was entirely focused on the military camp.
Yesterday, the Queen’s aunt sent a message to the Xue Mansion early, saying that His Highness the Crown Prince was going to the morning court. Today, Xue Feibai came back from the military camp specially to accompany His Highness to the morning court.
After all, none of the old guys in the court are easy to get along with.His cousin was weak and if he was bullied, the Queen’s aunt and his hot-tempered father would probably have trouble in front of the imperial court again.
Xie Rong got off the sedan and called him with a gentle voice. He looked very well-behaved, “Cousin.”
All in all, Xue Feibai and the prince’s cousin had not seen each other for many years, especially in the past three years, the prince had been seriously ill and almost died several times. The gate of the East Palace was closed tightly, and all visits were refused.
Now that we meet again, he still looks like he will fall down when the wind blows. Xue Feibai couldn’t help but feel sad. He took his hand and walked inside, “It’s windy here, let’s go in first.”
The ministers took the initiative to make way for both sides.
About a quarter of an hour later, the emperor arrived and the morning court began.
Xie Rong stood at the front, but behind him were the princes who entered the court before him. He felt a little unhappy and his eyebrows were gloomy.
In addition, he didn’t understand anything about Chao Shang, couldn’t understand anything, and couldn’t recognize everyone, not to mention that there were always people glancing at him with their eyes, as if they were laughing at him!
Xie Rong couldn’t help but think of the time when he went to the Imperial Academy for classes when he was seven years old. There were also a bunch of people surrounding him, and some people laughed and pinched his face. They must have ganged up to bully him because he was weak, and they didn’t take his status as the prince seriously.
Now that these people have grown up and entered the court, they actually dare to laugh at him behind his back!
Xie Rong was furious.
Before his father died, he never wanted to go to court again.
Why couldn’t my father die earlier and give up the throne to him?When he becomes emperor, let’s see who dares to cast a glance at him.
After going to court, the emperor left him to talk in the imperial study.
“How are you feeling today?”
The eldest prince on the side smiled and reassured him: “This is the first time for the seventh brother to go to court, so it is inevitable that he will be a little unfamiliar.”
Xie Rong looked at him coldly: “You are the crown prince, and you can call me seventh brother?”
The emperor coughed lightly, pretending to be angry and patted the imperial court, “Prince, please stop this. He is your imperial brother after all.”
“So what about the imperial brother?” Xie Rong smiled and played with the hand stove in his palm. “Didn’t the second emperor’s uncle also be the father’s emperor’s brother back then? Didn’t the father also kill him?”
“I didn’t kill him. He is much stronger than my father. Why should he come to thank me?”
“The traitor is rampant!” The emperor was furious, “Go back to the East Palace and stay well!”
Xie Rong looked lazy. When he walked out of the imperial study, Xue Feibai was still waiting for him outside.
Seeing him coming out, he stepped forward and said, “It’s windy outside, go back early.”
Xie Rong walked faster and faster with a cold face.
Xue Feibai asked tentatively: “Your Majesty reprimanded His Highness?”
Xie Rong felt depressed and sat silently in the sedan along the way. It was not until he returned to the dormitory that he suddenly became angry.
He smashed the antique furnishings all over the floor. His bloodless fingertips rested on the edge of the table and trembled slightly. His eyes were red and his beautiful eyebrows were slightly distorted.
“Gu is the crown prince, how dare these people ignore Gu!”
“Why is it that only Gu is in poor health? Why don’t they get sick?”
“Since my father has appointed Gu as the crown prince, why would he let those bastards go to court? Are they trying to steal Gu’s position?!”
Everyone in the East Palace knelt on the ground and did not dare to move. Only Xue Feibai knelt down to pick up his crown prince’s golden seal.
Xie Rong’s eyes rolled slightly, and suddenly he eagerly grabbed Xue Feibai’s hand, “Cousin, they all praise you for your civil and military skills, and that you are even more powerful than my uncle in fighting. Can you help Gu get rid of them?”
Xue Feibai sighed helplessly, but before he could speak, Xie Rong had already thrown away his hand and said harshly:
“Why don’t you help Gu? You are also with them!”
“You have no idea how my father scolded Gu in the imperial study today! He wanted to dethrone Gu from the position of crown prince so that he could be the wife of the imperial concubine, mother and son!”
Xue Feibai was stunned when he heard this: “Really?”
Xie Rong pretended to squeeze out a tear and nodded his head vigorously, like an aggrieved cat’s head.
Xue Feibai’s heart softened, and he finally understood why the Queen’s aunt and father regarded this cousin as a pain in the eyes, and stretched out his hand to wipe away his tears, “Your Highness, rest assured, no one can shake your position as Crown Prince. Anyone who dares to have thoughts about the Crown Prince will be in trouble with the Xue family.”
Having said that, seeing that the young ancestor’s face was finally coaxed to look good, Xue Feibai glanced at Eunuch Gao calmly.
Eunuch Gao understood the idea and hurriedly directed the palace people to pick up the fragments on the ground.
Xue Feibai stayed in the East Palace and had lunch.
During the meal, a man with a chain around his neck walked in and squatted at Xie Rong’s feet.
Xue Feibai gave Xie Rong’s hand holding the food a pause and half-squinted his eyes, “A Saibei person?”
Xie Rong picked up a piece of meat and fed it to the man. Such skillful movements showed that he had been doing this for a while. “My cousin has a good eye.”
“I have killed so many Saibei people on the battlefield. Even the leader of Saibei was personally beheaded by me. Naturally, I can recognize them at a glance.”
“Oh,” Xie Rong lowered his head and asked Lu Yuanju, “A Chou, what do you think?”
“I don’t know,” Lu Yuanju lowered his eyes with murderous intent.
This Major General Xue did not recognize him. Once he did, he was afraid that Xie Rong would never let him stay again.
“Look, he’s just an orphaned dog, and he can’t understand what you’re saying at all,” Xie Rong looked back at Xue Feibai proudly, as if to show off that he had tamed this barbarian in the north of Saibei.
Xue Feibai took a deep breath, “When Your Highness was young, I presented a mastiff to the East Palace. It was more loyal than these Saibei prisoners of war. Your Highness doesn’t like it?”
“It’s not obedient at all,” Xie Rong curled his lips, “Okay, cousin, I’m lonely and it’s time to take a nap.”
Xue Feibai had no choice but to leave.
But halfway through, he found that he had left his sword in the East Palace, and had to go back to get it.
Xue Feibai put his hand on the door of Chongming Hall and was about to push it open when he heard an intermittent whimper.
“You were so good just now,” it was Xie Rong’s voice, panting in small breaths, with a strange joy in the end, “You didn’t lose face in front of others.”
